Welcome to our FAQ page. Whether you're starting a new interior project or just curious about how we work, here you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive.
If you're still unsure or want to discuss your space, feel free to get in touch — we’re happy to help.
What types of spaces do you design?
We specialise in commercial interiors, including:
- Office and workplace design
- Restaurants, cafes and bars
- Wellness spaces (salons, clinics, gyms, studios)
- Retail and showroom spaces
Our focus is on helping businesses create spaces that reflect their brand, elevate customer experience, and improve functionality.
What services do you offer?
We have various interior design packages that include the services below, and can be tailored according to your project. Some of the services we offer include:
- Space planning and CAD floor plan drawings (furniture layouts, lighting and electrical layouts)
- Mood boards
- Physical and Digital Material boards
- 3D visualisations
- Sourcing - furniture, lighting, accessories
- Shopping Lists and a live client portal
- Detailed drawings and handover documentation
How much do your interior design services cost?
After an initial discussion, we’ll email you a bespoke quotation with a scope of work, timeline and breakdown of costs - no guesswork or hidden fees.
Each design project is different, so we tailor our services and provide clear pricing based on the size and complexity of your space.
How long does an interior design project usually take?
Every project is unique, but as a guide:
- E-Design projects take approximately 2–4 weeks per space.
- Full-service interior design can take approximately 4-6 for the design work, and 6–12+ weeks for design + installation depending on complexity.
We’ll always share a realistic timeline at the beginning of the project and keep you updated throughout.
What is E-Design and how does it work?
E-Design is a fully digital design service that allows us to work together remotely, no matter where you're based. We provide you with all the designs, drawings and sourcing links you need to bring your project to life.
What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Leicester and take on commercial projects across the UK, with some past projects to date covering London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cambridge.
Our E-Design services are remote and available globally - we have designed internationally including offices in Dubai and clinics in Germany.
Can you work with my budget?
Absolutely. We aim to design with purpose, not excess. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your priorities and budget so we can propose a plan that fits your needs and delivers high impact.
Will I need to hire builders or contractors myself?
We offer annotated drawings and material schedules to ensure seamless communication from concept to completion. If your project requires physical installation, there are two main options:
- If you would like to organise the fit-out yourself, we can supply detailed plans for your contacts to execute the design work to completion.
- Or we design every detail, then work closely with our trusted fit-out contractors to quote and execute the installation phase.
We don’t manage construction, but we can recommend trusted trades where possible.
Do you only take on large projects?
Not at all. Whether you need to redesign a reception area, create a salon from scratch or just need help sourcing furniture for your cafe, we offer flexible services for all scales of commercial projects.
Do you offer site visits and in-person consultations?
Yes. We offer site visits for UK-based projects, location dependent, during the design process and installation phase.
For international clients or remote projects, we offer detailed online consultations and support throughout your project.
